Who does Saffron Burrows play in You?
Saffron Burrows is a British-American actress and former model from London.
In You season two, Burrows portrays Dottie Quinn, the mother of Love (Victoria Pedretti) and Forty (James Scully).
Dottie and her husband Ray (Michael Reilly Burke), are wealthy Los Angeles socialites, who have an estranged relationship with their children.
After murdering Delilah (Carmela Zumbado) and Candace (Ambyr Childers) in the You season two finale, Love explained to a panicked Joe her parents were ‘very powerful’ people who ‘own the LAPD’.
However, Forty knew what really happened but was forced to believe the false narrative his parents had created.
As a result of the trauma 13-year-old Forty went through, in his late teens he became a drug addict and Love was left to take care of her broken brother.
Throughout the series, Love confessed to Joe that her parents were absent from her childhood and warned him they are ‘terrible’.
In episode five, titled Have a Good Wellkend, Joe! Love, Forty, Candace and Joe attend the renewal of Dottie and Ray’s vows at a spiritual ceremony called a ‘wellkend’.
At the wellkend, it is revealed Dottie has a strained relationship with Love.
When Forty turns up high to the renewal ceremony, Dottie blamed Love for his relapse. She even said: “You disgust me.”
Love then called her mother a “f****** hypocrite” and in response, Dottie slapped her daughter across the face.
However, Dottie’s actions only brought Love and Joe closer, with Joe opening up about his traumatic childhood of abuse at the hands of his father.
